Third quarter realized oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids prices, before the impact of derivatives(2), were $79.83 per Bbl, $1.36 per Mcf and $21.89 per Bbl, respectively. Realized oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids prices, before the impact of derivatives(2), for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $73.88 per Bbl, $1.78 per Mcf and $20.77 per Bbl, respectively.
Operating Costs
During the third quarter of 2023, lease operating expense ("LOE") was $11.5 million or $7.22 per Boe. Recent increases in operating costs were primarily due to inflationary pressures and higher production costs associated with more producing wells from our well reactivations and prior development program as well as increased ownership interest from our recent acquisition.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, general and administrative expense ("G&A") was $2.6 million, or $1.65 per Boe. Adjusted G&A(1) was $2.1 million, or $1.35 per Boe.
Liquidity and Capital Structure
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $232.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, diversified across multiple significant, well-capitalized financial institutions. The Company has no outstanding term or revolving debt obligations.
Dividend Program
On November 2, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.10 per share cash dividend payable on November 27, 2023 to shareholders of record on November 13, 2023. This declaration is consistent with the Company's on-going cash dividend program, which is subject to quarterly approval by the Board of Directors, announced on May 12, 2023. On June 7, 2023, SandRidge paid a one-time cash dividend of $2.00 per share.
Operational Results & Update
Production
Production totaled 1,586 MBoe (17.2 MBoed, 17% oil, 55% natural gas and 28% NGLs) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 1,638 MBoe (17.8 MBoed, 16% oil, 54% natural gas and 30% NGLs) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. SandRidge's recent capital development program has helped to sustain production levels despite no new wells coming online in the third quarter, while increasing oil content as a percentage of total production.
Development Program
The Company continues to benefit from its capital development program which concluded in the second quarter of 2023. The higher oil content of its recently-drilled wells targeting the Meramec formation in the Northwest Stack play versus the Company's base production was the primary driver of SandRidge's oil production increasing by approximately 20% in the first nine months of 2023 versus the same period in 2022. This increases the Company's oil as a percentage of total production and enhances its commodity realizations. SandRidge maintains option value with its acreage position being ~99% held by production and will continue to monitor opportunities for future development, with its primary focus being to generate high rates of return.
Base Production Declines
During the first nine months of 2023, SandRidge completed 12 artificial lift conversions as the Company continues to focus on high return and value-adding projects that provide benefits such as lowering forward-looking costs, enhancing or reactivating production on existing wells, and further supporting its modest decline profile. These focused efforts over recent quarters have helped lower SandRidge's expected annual base PDP decline to an average of ~8% over the next ten years.


2


The Company continues to ensure that all projects meet high rate of return thresholds and remains capital disciplined as the commodity price landscape changes.
Outlook
SandRidge will continue to focus on growing the cash value and generation capability of its asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while exercising prudent capital allocations to projects it believes provide high rates of returns in the current commodity price outlook. These near-term projects will be focused on artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective systems, other capital-efficient workovers, and limited well reactivations, while preserving future development, and expanded well reactivations, benefited by our 99% held by production acreage position that extends the option value to initiate projects in favorable commodity price environments, to achieve high rates of return. The Company will continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, results, costs and other factors that could influence returns on investments, which will continue to shape its disciplined development decisions in 2023 and beyond.
SandRidge will also continue to maintain the optionality to execute on value accretive merger and acquisition opportunities that could bring synergies, leverage the Company's core competencies, complement its portfolio of assets, further utilize its approximately $1.6 billion of net operating losses ("NOLs"), or otherwise yield attractive returns for its shareholders.
Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG")
SandRidge maintains its Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") commitment, to include no routine flaring of produced natural gas and transporting approximately 96% of its produced water via pipeline instead of truck. Additionally, SandRidge maintains an emphasis on the safety and training of our workforce. We have personnel dedicated to the close monitoring of our safety standards and daily operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow
The Company defines Adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities as shown in the following table. Adjusted Operating cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. The Company also uses this measure because operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, Adjusted operating cash flow allows the Company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow
The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities plus net cash (used in) provided by investing activities less the cash flow impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Free cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating or investing activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, ratings agencies and others who follow the industry for analysis of the Company’s financial and operating performance on a recurring basis and the Company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. In addition, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. The Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income Available to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results and are typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.
Management uses the supplemental measure of adjusted net income as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income available to common stockholders.

Reconciliation of General and Administrative to Adjusted G&A
The Company reports and provides guidance on Adjusted G&A per Boe because it believes this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period and to compare and make investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. This non-GAAP measure allows for the analysis of general and administrative spend without regard to stock-based compensation programs and other non-recurring cash items, if any, which can vary significantly between companies. Adjusted G&A per Boe is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for general and administrative expense per Boe. Therefore, the Company’s Adjusted G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other companies’ similarly titled measures.
The Company defines adjusted G&A as general and administrative expense adjusted for certain non-cash stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items, if any, as shown in the following tables:
